Did it have to linger?

You know, it is funny how a dream can really mess with you. Not like this is a surprise. We all know the effect a dream can have on us. They make us feel things that we wouldn't normally feel.

An interesting thought just passed through my mind. Thinking that dreams make us feel things that we wouldn't normally feel, how often do we have dreams that further provoke feelings that we already have? I mean, my dream last night created an emotion that I would like to have, but simply don't have(except for right now). I've had dreams that create emotions that I would be extremely embarrassed to have in normal conscious awareness.

On the other side, there are people and situations I hardly ever have dreams about. I wonder why. Normally you dream about something if it is on your mind a lot. For example (embarrassing moment): I used to want to have a dream about meeting Bjork so bad. I never did though. The closest I ever got to having Bjork in a dream was when I dreamed I was walking to my car after watching a movie she was in (I didn't even see the movie in my dream).

Adding certain emotions to certain people or situations could be very painful. Having a dream about Bjork back then would have pushed me way into the way too obsessed area of my old slight obsession.

Anyways...
